Samadhirajasutra 12.15-16

He was someone who would carry out my command,
And he cut up the bhikṣu like cutting up a garland of flowers. {43}

“ ‘In the pleasant, supreme forest Samantabhadra,
Filled with birds and the aroma of flowers,
The vast community of bhikṣus
Are like only sons who have lost their mothers. {44}

“ ‘Arise, bhikṣu, who dwelt in that forest!¹²³²
You came to the king’s capital
To accomplish vast benefit for beings.
Weeping, they long for the greatly compassionate bhikṣu. {45}

“ ‘I have had the road swept and covered with cloth.
Banners of flowers have been arranged on the right
And other beautiful images on the left.
Arise, bhikṣu, and teach the supreme Dharma! {46}

“ ‘You have been long absent from the king’s capital.
Weeping, they long for the greatly compassionate bhikṣu.
May there be no obstacle to our life
In this time of the destruction of the supreme Jina’s teaching. {47}

“ ‘Just as some beings who have great power—
Ever renowned throughout the ten directions
And outshining all in these three existences—
Leap down from a great height on to the earth, {48}

“ ‘In the same way, this bhikṣu has fallen to the earth
With a body beautified by the supreme signs.
With an evil intention, I have reduced to pieces
Supuṣpacandra, who was faultless and blameless.¹²³³ {49}

“ ‘All the bhikṣus will be stricken by suffering,
Will be dismayed and similarly grief-stricken
As soon as they see this dharmabhāṇaka,
Supuṣpacandra, slain and fallen to the ground.¹²³⁴ {50}

“ ‘Supuṣpacandra, who was like the king of mountains,
Adorned by the thirty-two signs,
Has in an instant been broken into pieces
Like a flower garland held by a woman.¹²³⁵ {51}

“ ‘I have created the worst bad karma.
I shall helplessly go to Avīci, to Yama’s realm.
Having reduced the bhikṣu to pieces,
I am at the furthest distance from buddhahood. {52}

“ ‘My sons will not save me, nor my family,
Nor my ministers, nor the slaves at my feet.
They will not save me from going to hell
For I have myself created the worst bad karma. {53}

“ ‘I go for refuge to the buddhas of the past, of the future,
And those now present in the ten directions,
Those leaders who have the ten strengths,
Have no kleśas, and have bodies as invincible as vajras!’ {54}

“The devas there wailed pitifully
When they saw the bhikṣu in pieces.
They went to inform the saṅgha
That Supuṣpacandra had been slain in the capital. {55}

“ ‘The wise and learned dharmabhāṇaka,
Powerful and renowned in all directions,
The bodhisattva who was established in retention,
Supuṣpacandra, has been slain in the capital. {56}

“ ‘He who for countless eons practiced generosity,
Maintained faultless, unwavering conduct,
And had unequaled patience within all worlds,
Supuṣpacandra, has been slain in the capital. {57}

“ ‘He who for countless eons was always diligent,
Confidently meditated on the four dhyānas,
And had the wisdom that eliminated the kleśas,
Supuṣpacandra, has been slain in the capital. {58}

“ ‘He who gave up all attachment to his body,
Who had no regard for his own life,
And departed from Samantabhadra Forest,
Supuṣpacandra, has been slain in the capital.’ {59}

“Having heard the pitiful wailing of the devas,
All the bhikṣus experienced great suffering.
They all went to the city in order to see
The slain, innocent Supuṣpacandra.¹²³⁶ {i}

“Those compassionate ones came to the capital
And when they saw the bhikṣu cut into pieces
They all wailed terribly in distress
And they fainted and fell to the ground. {60}

“The saṅgha of bhikṣus asked the king,
‘Why did you commit this offence against a bhikṣu
Who maintained correct conduct without a fault,
And could remember countless previous lives? {61}

“ ‘He had attained the power of wisdom and retention,
He knew that everything composite was empty,
He taught the absence of attributes to beings,
And had abandoned all concepts of aspiration. {62}

“ ‘He had pleasant and delightful speech,
